How did you hear <br />about our grant <br />program? <br />OCAC Enews <br />Did you attend or <br />watch the Artist <br />Project Grant <br />Training Session? <br />Yes <br />PROJECT/PROGRAM <br />INFORMATION <br />Tell us about your project or program <br />Title of Grant Project Eno Flute Ensemble <br />Grant Amount <br />Requested <br />$2000 <br />Project Start Date <br />(no earlier than July <br />1, 2025) <br />July 1, 2025 <br />Project End Date (no <br />later than June 30, <br />2026) <br />June 30, 2026 <br />Project/Program <br />Summary <br />The Raleigh Area Flute Association (RAFA) has always been our regional <br />flute organization that has supported several area flute choirs in the area. <br />In spring of 2024, the Chapel Hill-based flute choir associated with RAFA <br />stopped meeting for good. I have noticed and heard from other flutists that <br />there is a need and desire for a similar group to start back up in this area <br />to fill the void. Through my playing, university teaching, and private flute <br />students, I have created flute ensembles in the past and would like to take <br />on the project of creating a replacement group for our community called the <br />"Eno Flute Ensemble". I have most of the materials and rehearsal space <br />available, but with the project grant money I would like to purchase a bass <br />flute, flute stands, and advertise for the group. <br />As far as timeline, I plan to advertise and purchase necessary equipment <br />starting this July 2025. In August 2025, I am attending the National Flute <br />Association convention in Atlanta where I hope to try and purchase the <br />bass flute. This fall, I would like to advertise to local schools through in- <br />person visits to band programs and Peach Jar flyers. I also plan to open <br />this group to adult players and local amateurs through social media and <br />physical flyers at the local library branches. My hope is that I will have a <br />roster of potential registrants by December 2025 and that we can start <br />meeting for bi-weekly rehearsals in January 2026. Our performance goal <br />will be to have two public recitals by June 2026 at venues like Carolina <br />Meadows, Fearrington Village, or area churches. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 338EE559-626D-42AC-AF74-0A8E2C23B1EE
